Health authorities in England announced on May 21 (2025) the rollout of a world-first vaccine programme for gonorrhoea, amid record levels of the sexually-transmitted disease (STD).
Gonorrhoea cases in England in 2023 topped 85,000 – the highest number since records began in 1918 – with doctors warning of rising levels of antibiotic resistance.
